completed-daisy-ball-2_cropped-2 This design is a very large ball of cheery flowers that will be “the unexpected” this Spring. Consider hanging it from a chandelier, in multiples along your front porch or suspended from the ceiling on each side of your fireplace.

You will need:
8” sytrofoam ball (make
sure you take your 40% off
coupon with you!)
48 – 4” silk Gerbera Daisies
Apx. 30” of ½” wide ribbon (for
hanging)
4 yds. of 1-1/2” wired ribbon (for
bow), glue, pipe cleaner & u-
shaped wire (to secure ribbon)
styrofoam-ball-and-flowers
Begin by tying the ½”
ribbon into a knot, placing
it on the top-center of the
ball & securing it with a
u-shaped wire & a little glue.
Using a wire cutter, leave apx. a 3” stem on each flower (see above photo) & push each stem into the styrofoam ball. Continue covering ball with flowers. Make bow, secure with pipe cleaner & attach to top of ball at the base of the hanging ribbon.
